Why is the Redline only 700MC cheaper than the Spirit Bear? Is that right?

[WarmasterRaptor]

Thanks for the event PGI o7

Don't let the one dimensional QP players whining get to you.

They just had an event and now cry when its FW turn to gets one...

try to change mechs in that screen, helps me to drop again... but takes like double time of a normal drop

Thanks. Hopefully the last mech won't be too necessary....

EDIT:
The drop screen only locks up on the conquest, skirmish, domination etc. I am only safe in incursion....

The whole 'like regular queue but longer' was how PGI decided to address complaints that they had essentially created a single game-mode with six maps and then ignored it for almost two years.

I actually like conquest better in FW because players have to actually pay attention to resource spawns. Otherwise... Meh.

Yeah, actually, Conquest definitely holds up better than the other game modes, and is fun.

But, now they have 6 genuinely awesome maps that almost never get played X3

Looks like the "selected" heroes are all.

The event page is not clear about only invasion mode couts for the upper part.

But it does as I played a scout match two hours ago and it's not in the results.

How is this NOT CLEAR ?!

MC prices are based on the component fit / chassis tonnage... not the name tag assigned to the mech chassis. Linebackers have FF, Endo, DHS and most importantly... a 390 XL engine. There just isn't that much more value in a kodiak other than the 35 extra tons, 6 more DHS, the MASC equipment, and the lasers/missiles difference (with Redline having a streak-4 and 5 ERSL, and Spirit Bear having 2 ERML and 4 streak-6s) and 10 more engine rating.

I don't understand how match score works in FW. With 5 or more kills, 700 or more damage, a couple of good UAV's, a bunch of 'protected (insert weight class here)' rewards, etc., etc, I would have a match score of over 500 in QP, but in FW it's only around 180.

[Icantswim]

Is there a more convenient way to see which items/colors I'm picking as a reward?

[Commander A9]

Want to know what's weird?

For a moment PGI's math was bugged, too.

I had 15 qualifying matches so far...

...but my total C-Bill rewards were only being calculated as 1,400,000.

100,000 * 15 = 1,500,000 last I checked...

With QP you have to do that in a single mech to a maximum of 12 enemies (plus VIP if applicable). In FaP, you get four attempts. Clear enough?

Your score is divided by the number of mechs used.

That is not under pick a price rules. The portion you quited applies for the second part of the event.

[invernomuto]

This FP event seems to test the new IS weapon and tech against clan.
And for now, it seems worked for them, i saw IS v Clan bar near the 50% balance.

And for the sake of sanity, those ANH is ridiculous. 8+ ANH line by 228 wipe our defense like nothing

as opposed to the 8+ kodiak lines?
or even 8+ atlas?

• In addition to the C-Bill bonuses your cumulative Match Score will track throughout the course of the Event, unlocking special Faction Content Rewards at specific milestones!

Did anyone ever figure out what the milestones/rewards are, or is this just a poorly-worded referral to the Pick-A-Prize?

Pick a Prize. What hero should i buy for casual QP?
I like to play IS, but I have a smattering of clan mechs too.

What kind of gameplay, weapon systems, and mechs (fast/slow/light/heay etc.) do you prefer? Personally I bought the Pakhet (Huntsman hero) and next time I log in I'll buy Tempest (Archer hero). I'm also debating whether to get Medusa (Viper hero) and/or Legend Killer (Rifleman hero).

As for the hero mechs I own and like and should generally be considered 'good', there's Pirate's Bane (locust), K-9 (urbanmech), and Bounty Hunter II (Marauder). I like the Arrow (Blackjack hero) and Purifier (Kit Fox hero) but I'm not sure whether they're considered a 'good mechs' per se. The Purifier does have two excellent torso omnipods which I think elevates the chassis into 'good' territory.
